1 month into Valtrex/diflucan:Update. Also,Can I start Chelation soon?

[Guest guest]

We are over a month into Valtrex and are seeing wonderful gains. DS went through

a regression in the beginning complete with rashes, aggression, pulling his

brother hair any time he even got near him, crying etc. We almost stopped it b/c

it was just so horrible. After 3 weeks DS started using longer more complex

sentences (he went from 5 word sentences to an 18 word sentence!) He is using

spontaneous speech all the time now. He is way more social, better eye contact

and is actually LOOKING and watching other kids and people around him. He used

to just remove himself and avoid even looking at what other kids were doing. Now

hes smiling at them and talking to them (even if its in his repetitive language,

he likes to ask " whats this? " even when he knows what it is.) He is having the

beginnings of conversation with verbal 2-3 exchanges. All his therapists say

that his processing, receptive language and multitasking is much faster.

Anyway, I know antivirals needs to be taken for a while, but we would like to

consider chelation next. DS has mercury, lead and arsenic and we've never gotten

around to treating it. Do you think it may be too much to do chelation at the

same time as anti-virals? I don't want to stop when things are so good now. But

we are getting a glimmer of something wonderful and it makes me hungry for more.

He still has so much verbal stimming, repetitions, and makes loud noises and

humming.

Any advice would help. Thanks!
